Quote: TheButcher "A somewhat ironic comment in a thread solely dedicated to people who want a whine.
It amuses me that opposition fans can come on here, create a thread while frothing at the mouth, and have the gall to take the moral high ground when every team has had incidents of varying degrees of seriousness take place. Chase did a bad thing, now he pays the price. At least in this incident correct justice has been provided where a lot of the time it can be very inconsistent. If you think that Leeds have been Angels for the past ten years and have never had a player err then you have ground to start pointing fingers. But we both know that that is not the case. Your nit-picking over a specific type of incident is to fail to see the point others were making. I personally think this is deliberate to keep the ball firmly in others courts rather than to admit that Leeds have had plenty of thugs, current and past do equally deplorable things. Now I'm not pointing the finger here and saying which incidents rank higher than others on a RL outrage scale. I'm just pointing out that you can't ignore the bigger picture in favour of cherry-picking the bits that make your point. That would be intellectually dishonest.
Every team has had plenty of players commit foul play. It's okay to make comment, but you risk making yourself look like a tool for taking the moral high ground where there isn't any. This goes for Salford fans too.'"
Suggest you read Red Eyes and Michigan's posts before posting again. Red Eyes made a comment that Leeds players would have not been treated in the same way as Chase had they made the same tackle. Plionrrhino purely asked for an instance where this had happened. The responses have been to list Hardaker, Ablett and Bailey as thugs. I purely pointed out that we can both go down that route and the question stil stands when have Leeds been treated differently in a similar situation? No moral high ground, no indignation as to Chases offence, just asking Red Eyes to back up his post.
If you are implying that The Disciplinary Committee is lenient on Leeds as opposed to other clubs, again give examples.
If you come out with a statement then back it up with facts, if not then you look the tool!
